A Moral Compass

the Lord will not judge you on how often you pray or how earnestly you pray prayers are no more than words they hold no meaning for God He has no desire to be praised or worshiped that was never your purpose that's why He gave you free will you're born with a soul a moral compass that forever points you in the direction of love and you will be judged not on your interpretation of God's love but on how you shared that love with your fellow man

Sometimes it is not so easy to love but some people need lovin' the most when they are deserving it the least. Enjoyed reading this one. Sara

wow, Emile. I understand so well what you say here. So many religions focus on prayer, but in reality, our fate is already known. What will be will be. I do pray just to ask God for a bit of relief and to thank him for things, but the real purpose of our being here is to experience life, to understand right from wrong, to grow, and to love!

You see it exactly as I do. A very powerful poem, Emile. I see you were born in Bathurst, NB. I was born in Saint John, NB. ~ Elaine
